83 Percent of Texas School Districts Offer Abstinence-Only or No Sex Ed

[TexasTowelie]

“We’re creating generation after generation after generation of sexually illiterate adults.”

Condom use requires a complicated, six-step process, sexual intimacy often leads to suicide and HIV can be transmitted through mutual masturbation.

These are among the fallacies being taught as part of sex education in Texas public schools — when sex education is taught at all, according to a new report from the Texas Freedom Network (TFN), a progressive statewide group.

The report, titled “Conspiracy of Silence,” found that despite some improvement over the last eight years, more than 83 percent of Texas districts currently provide either abstinence-only sex education — free of accurate information about contraception — or no sex education whatsoever.

Meanwhile, Texas has one of the nation’s highest teen birth rates, above-average rates of sexual risk-taking among youth, rising rates of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) in some areas and the highest infant mortality rate in the developed world.

1. Maybe xHamster will step in like they did in Utah

It's kind of pathetic that the "adults" have failed their children and a porn site has to step in.

http://www.slate.com/blogs/xx_factor/2017/02/10/after_utah_rejects_comprehensive_sex_ed_porn_site_offers_sex_ed_videos_to.html

After Utah lawmakers rejected a bill that would have provided an alternative to its abstinence-based approach to sexual education in schools on Monday, a surprising organization stepped in to fill the educational gap: a porn site.

On Wednesday, the porn site xHamster altered its website so that when users with Utah-based IP addresses log on, they are asked if they’d like to be redirected to xHamster’s series of nonpornographic sex-ed videos. In a (NSFW) blog post, xHamster says it decided to proactively offer Utahns the educational videos both because of the legislature’s recent rejection of the comprehensive sex-ed bill and because “over the past few years, politicians in the state have … waged war on porn.” Indeed, last year the state legislature unanimously passed a resolution declaring porn a “public health crisis,” even though there’s no solid evidence that porn is harmful.
